Automatic spectral imaging protocol and iterative reconstruction for radiation dose reduction in typical hepatic hemangioma computed tomography with reduced iodine load: a preliminary study.
Trial report in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the effect of automatic spectral imaging protocol selection (ASIS) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR) technique in the reduction of radiation and contrast medium dose in typical hepatic hemangioma (HH) dual energy spectral CT (DEsCT).
methods62 patients with suspected HH were randomly divided into two groups equally: Group A, conventional 120-kVp CT with standard iodine load; Group B, DEsCT with ASIS technique and reduced iodine load, two sets of monochromatic spectral images were reconstructed: 69 keV level with 30% ASiR (Group B
resultsNo difference was observed in the standard deviation values, subjective image noise, and the diagnostic acceptability score among the three groups (p > 0.05). Contrast to noise [Group B
conclusionDEsCT with ASIS and ASiR technique can reduce the radiation dose without image quality degradation as compared to the conventional 120-kVp CT. The monochromatic spectral images at 52 keV level with 50% ASiR allows the reduction in total iodine dose without deteriorating diagnostic performance. Advances in knowledge: ASIS combined with ASiR technique, by using monochromatic spectral images at 52 keV level, represents a feasible imaging protocol to reduce the radiation and total iodine dose in assessment of typical HH.
